    Answer;

    9 miles per hour.

    Solution;

    Convert 41 minutes to seconds and add 25 seconds to that, then divide by 60 to convert to hours.

    41 min = 2460 seconds ( + 25 seconds) = 2485 / 60 = 41.417 minutes (0.6903 hours).

    Speed = 10 km/0.6903 hr = 14.4869 km/hr

    But 1 mile = 1.60934 km

    Thus; 14.4869 kilometers = 9.0017 miles.

    So the runner's average speed is roughly 9 miles per hour.
